KG PROTO I

The First K Guitars Prototype

In the silence of the dark, it holds riffs powerful enough to crack the world.

The KG Proto I is the first prototype developed by K Guitars and the instrument that laid the foundations for the brand’s identity. This handcrafted 7-string multiscale electric guitar, designed and built in France, embodies the core philosophy of K Guitars: modern construction, a bold aesthetic, and carefully considered technical choices for demanding guitarists.

The KG Proto I marks the starting point of K Guitars. As the first instrument fully developed with this vision in mind, it served as a platform for exploring the construction, ergonomics, and aesthetic choices that would gradually shape the identity of the brand.

Its 7-string multiscale configuration, active electronics, and several features designed to make the instrument easier to use and maintain already reflect this philosophy: to build distinctive, modern guitars designed above all to be played.
